    Ive noticed that i find guys arround my age hard to deal with. I feel i just have nothing in common with other gay guys. Ive tryed socializing with gay guys my age but i always feel akward. I find older guys easy to talk to, i donno maybe im just a boring person.

    My preference isn't for guys my age maybe thats a reason?

    Maybe try and come along to this

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What age are you and what age do you consider 'older' and prefer talking to?

    Is that in general or just older gay men? When you think about it, theres no particular reason for you to get along with other gay men, it's just a sexuality you have it common, and perhaps nothing else.

    Do you see this as a problem that you want to change?

    I am in a similar situation. I am 27 and one of my best mates is 49. I find it so easy to talk to him, we have lots in common. I have tried socialising with guys my own age, but I find many of them immature and all them seem to be interested in, is how drunk they can get.

    I think it doesn't matter how old your friends are, just that they like you for who you are, and you like them for who they are.

    Don't worry, I'm not like the 20-something guys you describe and probably go on as if I'm 49 a lot of the time rather than 25! I'm far too mature for my age!

    There are plenty of us around that aren't like the young guys you describe so don't worry. You just have to look for them and you will find them. The Boards meet-up on 6th March would be an ideal place to start. :)
